Now, regarding your first question, this code only works for SQLite databases, that can be accessed directly from a module provided with Python. In order to access another SQL engine (like Oracle) you would need a more powerful <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RDBMS" rel="nofollow">RDBMS</a>, and for Python one of the best is <a href="http://www.sqlalchemy.org/" rel="nofollow">SQLAlchemy</a>. It has a similar approach as the SQLite module in Python, but it gives you extra functionality and it had methods to access most of the current SQL engines out there. In the future I plan to have SQLAlchemy here, but I recommend their documentation if you want to learn more. Hi Sukhi

I just got started with python and nothing like seeing code and its explanation side by side. I am wondering if I can use the generic class with the oracle db. is your source in git or svn?

IMHO there is no need, so far, for an advanced ORM. As the database and number of tables grow, some other solution can be used. Thanks for the suggestion.
